Diffuse Thyroid Uptake Incidentally Found on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Subjects without Cancer History
OBJECTIVE We investigated the clinical significance of incidental diffuse thyroid uptake (DTU) on (18)F-FDG PET in subjects without a history of cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 2062 studies from adults who underwent (18)F-FDG PET as a cancer screening program. Subjects were divided into the following two groups: with (group I) or without (group II) DTU. The presence of DTU a...

Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...

Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in North America and Europe. During the natural course of atherosclerosis, inflammation plays a major role in the development of complex plaque lesions containing activated macrophages, foam cells, T lymphocytes, mast cells, and a necrotic lipid-rich core (1). When such a plaque becomes unstable due to uncontrolled inflammation and thinning of ...
متن کاملUncommon reason for high fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography uptake.
A 32-year-old woman presented with a local recurrence of breast cancer. She had first been diagnosed in 2006 with clinical stage II (T4.5 cm N0 M0), triple-negative breast cancer of the left breast; she received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and breast-conserving surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and breast irradiation. She remained disease-free until May 2009, when a 0.9-mm lump appeared in...
متن کاملThe significance and management of incidental [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-emission tomography uptake in the thyroid gland in patients with cancer.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Incidental positron-emission tomography (PET) uptake in the thyroid bed represents a diagnostic dilemma. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the significance of this finding or the most appropriate approach to management. The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of incidental fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the thyroid gland on [(18)F]FDG-posi...
